The West was profoundly wrong about ModiThe West was profoundly wrong about Modi

What led Modi away, it seems, was the teachings of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
a strict Hindu organization that is reported to require a vow of celibacy.
Modi's time with the RSS eventually led to his leadership of India's second largest political party
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
and his Hindu nationalism is seen as one key aspect of his popularity.........

LoL....dem bhais disappear from this Forum, forever !

and here is bhadrakumar, a most erudite analyst, once gain!

The Saudi u-turn, therefore, also means that India must rush to Tehran in sackcloth and ashes. What a mess-up! (See my blog Tehran loses patience with Modi government’s hide and seek.)

This level of incompetence and intellectual bankruptcy at the leadership level in Delhi in policymaking in regard of what India calls its ‘extended neighbourhood’ has no parallel in the recent times.

How is it that countries such as Russia, China, Japan, South Korea or Malaysia manage to have friendly relations with both Saudi Arabia and Iran? Neither Saudi Arabia nor Iran demands an exclusive relationship with any country.

I am trying to fix this thread by removing the Trump posts to another thread I have started, and I find that I cannot delete the posts that must be deleted or there will be duplicates..that the power to delete my posts has been removed from me.

Chairman do you have any idea how that pisses me off..can you imagine how angry that makes me...... I cant begin to tell you so I wont even try. and I will put up no outward signs of my anger..like emoticon impressions of how I feel

what you have done is to put up a format that collects information from posters, and remove their freedom to delete anything at all. what sites like this do is to collect information on posters and what they do on the site for whatever purpose the collectors of such information have in mind. this is a SPY thing, a SURVEILLANCE THINGY FOR WHICH I HAVE THE UTMOST CONTEMPT..UTTER, COMPREHENSIVE AND FLAWLESSLY TOTAL CONTEMPT.

I have had nothing at all to do with any such site previously, have studiously avoided them for their undemocratic and exploitative nature as well as their potential to create all manner of trouble for posters here who may be attacked in future depending on how things develop, for what they may have said.. that that can no longer be deleted. this has added a most sinister element to the board.

and now you have placed this challenge on me and I do not appreciate it at all. what in the hell made you change to this kind of thing..wasn't the previous format working fine already?

if you are changing change to greater efficiency, more tasteful and sweetly organized good looking site, fine. but what is this exploitation based surveillance thingy then????

India foreign policy finding itself in drift

due to the aberrations of the Hindu nationalist government in power ~

we move on to the New Year in a depressing scenario.

ok I can delete and adjust posts..yet that did not work with the Trump posts. when I deleted their content by editing... the old full content returned. that pissed me off.

I have to find some benign content to replace it with..and as far as I can see any content will do even it it does not fit the thread one as the Trump content does not really fit the thread. but the post itself cannot be deleted...the elite button removed

I hate the way this site works now. I thought that the change before this one was super but it did not last. so soon we morphed into this dam nonsense and I am pissed with it. Chairman is only making life difficult for himself with this the god dam set up.

what the hell gets into to people man! why the hell Chairman chose this set-up/format just like that? maybe the makers of it offered him a piece of cake to use it on us..a piece of Black rum cake with some cream on top and he got drunk

speaking against Pakistan ........

"Pakistan was founded on religious grounds due to which atrocities on minorities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Jains

and Christians have increased. But Congress and its allies don't speak against Pakistan,"
